belts and pulleys
Permalink  
 

Here is a picture of my A/C and alternator and power steering.  The belts in the picture are wrong, it was to check and see if it looked right.  I am wondering what is the best way to have the belts.

Option # 1 one belt goes from the A/C to the crank to the water pump and back to the A/C.  That is the line of grooves closest to the front of the truck

                one belt goes from the crank to the power steering and back to the crank.  That is the next set of grooves back.  Middle groove on the crank pulley.

                one belt goes from the water pump to the alternator and back to the water pump.  Also on the next set of grooves back but doesn't touch the crank.

This set up would be close to what you see in the picture.

Option # 2 A/C belt is the same as above

                one belt goes from the crank to the power steering to the alternator to the water pump and back to the crank

The challenge is the pulley grooves for the power steering and alternator are in the same plane and I have not been able to find a different pulley for the power steering to move it closer to the motor.  I have a three groove pulley on the crank but right now the third groove (closest to the motor) is not being used.

Yea what belt drives the water pump? Looks like you will need to run a belt to the A/C,looks like some nice shiny stuff there,but like jarvis said,better to go with serpitine drive.

Whoops. Verbiage above says go around crank.
I would go around the crank for the alternator as well if space permits.

Changing systems is out, way expensive. The only thing I can see doing would be to change the power steering pulley. Where do I look to see if I can find one

Who’s kit is this? Maybe give them a call and talk about the alignment issues.

Was looking at this last night, briefly. I think I can move the alternator back. That would leave me with this
Alternator to crank only on pulley closest to the motor
Water pump to crank middle groove and over to power steering
A/C to crank front pulley, up to water pump and back to A/C

Most of this stuff I bought from Speedway from a couple of different manufacturers. Part of this is my lack of knowledge, not having someone close by to watch me and not knowing even what questions to ask

Wrap the water pump twice if you can. You may appreciate it if a belt goes and you still have cooling.
